The Four Rules for Whether You Should Invite Your Boyfriend or Girlfriend Home for the Holidays

It’s that really awkward time of year where you have to figure out whether you’ve been dating someone long enough to introduce them to your family. And that’s TOUGH.

–Fortunately, there is a four-point guide from a dating service called ‘It’s Just Lunch’ for how you should handle the holidays with your new boyfriend or girlfriend.

–Listen and absorb . . .

#1.) Dating less than three months. Invite them to hang out with your friends. But nothing more than dessert with your family . . . and that’s only if your family lives locally.

#2.) Dating three to six months. You can do dinner with the family, but only if they live nearby. You’re not ready to travel home together yet.

#3.) Dating six months to a year. It’s safe to invite them to travel home with you . . . but don’t be shocked if they have an excuse not to go.

#4.) Dating over a year. You should expect to be with one of your families for the holidays

Your daily horoscope

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY:

There is a danger that you are becoming obsessive about something. You know what it is and you know how negative the effects could be, so call a halt right now. Replace a bad habit with a good habit and the coming year will be marvellous.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

So many things are going right for you now that it’s like you have a guardian angel watching over you. Maybe you do. Whatever the reason for your good fortune be sure to make the most of it today.

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

An investment you made a long time ago may well pay off today. Don’t let anyone tell you that you don’t deserve it. You deserve everything you get, and you’ll get even more towards the end of the week.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

Take the time and make the effort to remind the people who mean the most to you in this world how much you care for them. They know already, of course, but it doesn’t hurt to actually say it once in a while.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

Take care with your thoughts today, because your mind is a powerful thing and what you focus on will very soon become your reality. Think only happy thoughts, even though others’ actions may make you want to scream.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):

Cosmic activity in your fellow Fire sign of Sagittarius makes it easy for you to persuade friends and rivals to give you what you need. And if they need something in return? Give it to them, if you can.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

There are some strong emotions flying about at the moment and if you’re not careful you could find yourself swept away on a tide of other people’s negative feelings. Always look on the bright side. Smiles are allowed; frowns are not.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

You will say something outrageous today – and you will be applauded for it. Those around you are fed up having to listen to sanitized versions of the facts. They want the unvarnished truth, and you’re the one to give it to them.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

If someone says you need to prove your friendship or commitment by spending money on them that’s a sure sign they are taking you for a ride, and you know it. True friends want only to be near to you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

Whatever target it is you are aiming at you will hit it with ease – your Archer’s eye has never been better. But don’t lose sight of the fact that you can only aim at one target at a time. Be selective in your ambitions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

You know instinctively that what someone is telling you is a lie. Do you confront them with the fact? You can, if you can be bothered, but why waste time and energy on them? Just turn your back and walk away.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

This is a great day for reaching out to people you have not seen in a while. This is a great day for renewing old friendships. Pick up the phone or find them on Facebook – the important thing is that you connect.

PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):

You’ll get the opportunity to make a powerful friend. You don’t have to flatter them – in fact that would be a mistake – but you do have to let them know what you are capable of. Don’t be modest about your talents.
